“Fuck.” He covered his eyes with the heels of his hands.
“Where does she live?”
“Her family lives in Newport News, up in Virginia.”
Bree cocked her head. “What about her.”
He shook his head and dropped his hands. “She was looking for a new job, but last time I talked to her she was still at her parents’.”
“Can you go visit her after you get released from the hospital?”
“I feel like the longer I wait the worse it’s going to be. Like one of those dreams where you’re running toward something, but no matter how fast your run, that thing just gets farther and farther away.”
The machine beeped three times and he felt Bree’s finger’s on his leg. “What about this Titan company? Do they have her contact information?”
His head jerked up. “They’ll have her parents’ number.”
She raised her eyebrows. “There you go.” She ripped off one of the electro pads.
“Son of a bitch!” He slapped a hand on the now red and bald spot on his leg and glared at her.
She winked.
